This 1960 beauty lives on a nice size 836sqm allotment. (Frontage - 19.8m x Depth - 42.0m)
Come and live with a north facing rear yard setting, and if a garage/work-shop is on the wish-list; it doesnt get much better than this. Its a big one!

There is a certain understated character and a timeless quality about this home.
The solid brick and stone construction together with the stepped concrete front and large colonial bay window give this home its unique appeal. They are complemented by a quality Wunderlich terra-cotta tiled roof, while on the inside it comes with few quirky features you will want to keep.

The terrazzo front porch and entry hall provide a warm welcome to this much-loved home.
Inside, there are high-ceilings throughout and all the rooms are spacious. The main living room features plastered acoustic ceilings, the old combustion heater is highlighted by a rare marble stone hearth and surround; while, the timber mantel, bookshelves and a large mirror are the perfect complement. Another cool feature are the two timber and glass panelled sliding doors that keep this room private. Install a new wood-fired combustion heater in time for the winter season and cosy in!

The separate dining room complements both the living room and the kitchen. Both the dining and kitchen rooms look out to the rear yard gardens. The Blackwood timber kitchen has excellent storage and bench-space, there is room for a large fridge, a dishwasher, while the large free-standing electric cooking range may have reached celebrity status. Its a classic! Neat, clean, ready for action, and comes complete with an in-built rotisserie. How cool is that!

The main bedroom also has acoustic ceilings and features contemporary-style timber joinery and built-in storage. Bedroom two is a good-size room and together they share a classic terrazzo bathroom and ideally a separate toilet. The laundry/utility room is accessed by the rear porch.

The rear yard of this superb 850sqm allotment are shaded by an old Elm tree. You will appreciate the adobe-brick walls that wander around the garden to create a few different zones, the old Hills-Hoist stands proudly, while down the back the old-chook shed could be re-instated. Another classic feature is the breezeblock walls that separate the yard from the huge garage and work-shop.

The secure garage has great high ceilings and will accommodate all-of the toys, while the adjoining workshop will delight the engineer, tradesperson or for that serious hobby. A classic old work-bench will complete the picture.

Your new home is set well back from Bideford Avenue with a wide-open front yard aspect and is tucked away behind a beautiful custom-built hard-wood fence. Its a beauty! As a first project, can you imagine a new lawn together with a few new plantings along the boundary to complement this home and really make it your own.

Within city-limits and convenient to everything, what a place to live and invest in your future!
